About the chapter

We are heavily involved inside our chapter and on campus, pushing ourselves to achieve excellence in all areas. Our brothers pursue a wide range of majors, offering someone to connect and work with no matter the academic goal. Our chapter recently celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the construction of our Chapter Facility, marking a new chapter for our future and the resources available to its members. With over 130 brothers, there truly is no stereotype for a Phi Psi, and we look forward to welcoming quality candidates from all walks of life.

“Here at Phi Psi, we strive every day to be better men than we were the day before, and it shows with our success. Not only is this a brotherhood where I’ve formed connections I'm forever grateful for, but it’s also helped me grow into a version of myself I am proud to be today.”

Tyler Japel, 2026 Chapter President
